Chapter 12: Another Kill

The Doctor, Claire, and River were on the main road again. They kept running back to Jurassic Planet Laboratories, where they could shut down all the killer dinosaur-alien hybrids. They could now see the large glass pyramid in the distance. They were almost there. What they did not know was that Madame Kovarian and the Silence were waiting for them. They had one last alien-dinosaur surprise for the Time Lord. The Doctor and the others were about five minutes away. The Silence were ready. They had combined one of the toughest dinosaurs in history with one of the Doctor's most dangerous enemies, the Weeping Angels.

Rory and Karen remained trapped in the Cyber-Raptor cage looking for Zach and Scott. They did not realize that neither was still in the cage and they would not find them. However, there were two Cyber-Raptors in the cage looking for them. One of them was successful. A Cyber-Raptor jumped out from the bushes and stood a few yards away.

"Where's my family?" Karen bravely asked the evil creature.

"The young one has escaped the cage." The Raptor said with the voice of a Cyberman.

"Zach's out." Karen said to herself with a smile.

"What about Scott?" Rory asked.

"He has been deleted." The Cyber-Raptor said.

"What?" Karen said in shock.

"Run." Rory whispered in her ear. "It's going to kill us too if we don't move."

Rory and Karen then turned around and ran fast. Karen had to pull herself together very quickly, which she was having trouble doing. Rory and Karen could see that the exit was straight ahead. They turned around and saw the Cyber-Raptor chasing them, which was no surprise. However, they also saw that the second Cyber-Raptor was running next to the first one. It must have been attracted by the sounds of the action.

"Delete. Delete. Delete." The Cyber-Raptors shouted in unison.

They began firing deadly laser blasts from their mouths. The blasts kept barely missing Rory and Karen, making small explosions as they hit the ground. They were almost at the open door that led out of the glass cage and onto the black road in the jungle. All they had to do was get outside and shut the door behind them. As powerful as the Cyber-Raptors were, this cage was designed to confine them. Their lasers could not break the glass and they couldn't open this door. Safety was so close. Unfortunately, one of the Cyber-Raptor's blasts hit its target. It was Karen. Rory watched as the blue laser disintegrated her body as they ran. He wanted to stop, but knew he would be killed as well. Rory ran through the door and slammed it shut behind him. The door then locked automatically. The Cyber-Raptors were no longer a threat, but they had killed Karen. Claire's sister, Zach and Gray's mother, was dead.

Rory stood still in front of the entrance to the Cyber-Raptor cage. He only knew Karen for a few hours and now she was dead. The Doctor, Claire, and River had not gotten to Jurassic Planet Laboratories in time to save her. Rory had done nothing to save her, but what could he have done anyway against Cyber-Raptors? All these thoughts filled his head until he saw a group of people running towards him. He recognized his wife Amy. Next to her was Owen, Zach, and Gray. They had just barely escaped an encounter with the Dalek-Rex.

"Rory!" Amy said as she hugged her husband tightly. "The Silence are doing all of this. They made a hybrid of a Dalek and a T-Rex."

"I escaped the cage and went to get help." Zach said. "We're here to help you guys...where's my dad?"

"Zach. Gray." Rory said with a tear in his eye. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this. Your parents were killed by the Cyber-Raptors. The Doctor and your mother came to help us, but he left with Claire and my daughter River to go back to the labs and shut down the dinosaurs. Karen and I stayed here looking for you. We didn't know you left. Then, they got her before we could escape."

Zach and Gray were understandably speechless. However, there was no time to grieve and mourn right now. The ground started to vibrate as it had done before. Amy and Owen knew what that meant. They turned around and saw that the Dalek-Rex was approaching down the road.
